In June, 1863, the army of Northern Virginia, divided into three corps 
under Longstreet, Ewell, and A. P. Hill, commanded by General Lee, crossed 
the Potomac at Williamsport and Shepherdstown and marched into Penn- 
sylvania; a part going as far as Carlisle, the remainder halting at Chambers- 
bnrg. The Union army, under General Hooker, had in the meantime crossed 
the river at Edwards Ferry and headed towards Frederick City, Md. On 
June 37th, Hooker having been refused the use of some ten thousand men 
then not needed at Harper's Ferry, tendered his resignation, which was ac- 
cepted — General Meade succeeding to the command. 

On the morning of July 1st, Hill, whose corps was in the advance six miles 
from Gettysburg, learned that Gettysburg was occupied by a Union force. 
Sending back to urge Longstreet to hasten his march, he moved on. In the 
meanwhile, Reynolds, who was in command of that portion of the L^nion 
army, had sent out a cavalry reconnoissance, and the forces came into collision 
about two miles north-west of Gettysburg. Reynolds sent infantry to the sup- 
port of his cavalry, and the action opened. He was killed in the opening of 
the action. At first the Union forces were superior, and they gained decided 
advantages; but in a few hours nearly the whole of Hill's corps came up from 
Chambersburg, and Ewell's from Carlisle, both numbering about 50,000, while 
their opponents were less than half as many. The Union forces were driven 
back through Gettysburg. Until the town was reached the retirement was 
comparatively deliberate and orderly ; but when arrived there, being huddled 
in the narrow streets subjected to a rapid fire from batteries which raked 
them, and the enemy's swarming infantry intent on their destruction or cap- 
ture, the men fell into confusion. Their officers strove to save them by 
ordering them into the cross alleys. But this only added to the confusion, the 
men either not understanding the commands, or hoping to escape the fire of 
the foe, and over 1,200 were made prisoners in less than twenty minutes. The 
remainder took up a strong position on Cemetery Hill, just south of town, 



close to the village cemetery, from which the hill and ridge were named. 
General Hancock had been sent forw^ard and rallied the troops, taking com- 
mand until General Meade arrived, late in the evening. 

During the night most of the remainder of the Union army arrived on the 
field ; the centre of the line of the Second corps passing through the cemetery 
w^here the soldiers Avho had fought through the day were sleeping amid tlie 
graves. Early in the morning the bulk of the two armies was in position, that 
of tlie Union being posted on Cemetery Ridge from Round Top to Gulp's 
Hill. Including the cavalry upon the two flanks the line was over five miles 
long. The Confederates were just opposite on Seminar}^ Ridge with their 
left bent round through the town to the foot of Gulp's Hill ; the length of 
their line being more than five miles. The forces present were nearly equal; 
each numbering from 70,000 to 80,000 infantry and artillery. Meade had 
intended that his line should be posted on the ridge directly between Round 
Top and Cemetery Hill. But tliis ridge, in the centre where Sickles was 
placed, is comparatively low, sinking down into a valley a few hundred yards 
wide, beyond which rises another wooded crest running diagonally to the 
former, and Sickles supposed this to be the one which he was to occup3^ When 
the error was discovered there was no time to correct it, and Meade decided 
to support him in his present position, although it left an unoccupied space 
between him and Round Top. As it liappened, Hood's division of Longstreet'.- 
corps struck this opening. Moreover, Little Round Top had been left unoc- 
cupied, and this was the key to the entire Union position. The Gonfederate> 
perceived this and began to swarm up its rugged sides. But, just in time, 
General Warren, an engineer, discovered the error and brought up a few regi- 
ments. Tliey reached the summit ahead of the enemy, and drove them back. 
From this until midnight, an unsuccessful effort was made to take the hill. In 
the meantime the remainder of Longstreet's corps was pressing firecely upon 
Sickles, who was soon borne from the field Avith his leg shattered. His corps 
made a stubborn resistance, but was forced back until it reached the ground 
he should have occupied, where a new line was formed. The Confederates 
charged this, but were met with a fire from which they recoiled. Hancock, 
who now commanded the centre, oi'dered a counter-charge, by which the enemj- 
were compelled to retreat to the ridge previously occupied by Sickles, which 



they continued to liold. The withdravval of troops from Culp's Hill to support 
Sickles and Hancock enabled Ewell to get within the Union entrenchments 
at that point. 

At day-break on Friday Ewell was forced from the lootliold he had gained 
the previous day. The remainder of the morning was spent in preparation. 
Seminary Ridge formed an admirable position for the Confederate artillery, 
and here, directly in front of the Union line, they planted 150 guns. At about 
one o'clock, the enemy, having perfected all his plans, made the attack. 
Silence for more than two hours had reigned, when, of a sudden, 150 guns 
were run to the front. For an instant the air was filled with a hissing, burst- 
ing, firey cloud, and a torrent descended on its death-dealing mission upon the 
long lines of men crouched below. An equal number of Union guns made 
fitting reply. Notwithstanding every precaution had been taken to shelter 
the Union troops, the destruction was terrible. Men were torn limb from 
limb, and blown to atoms. In the neighborhood of Mead's headquarters the 
shells were exploding at the rate of six in a second After two hours the 
firing ceased; and Lee, supposing that the Union batteries had been silenced 
and that the infantry were demoralized, ordered the grand attack of the day. 
The attacking column numbered about eighteen thousand men, the most of 
whom were Virginia veterrius who had as yet not been engaged. Lee had in- 
tended to advance his artillery to support his infantry, but found at the last 
moment that his ammunition was nearly exhausted and there was no time to 
replenish it. The column moved swiftly down the slope and across the 
plain; all the Union batteries open upon tliem, plowing great furrows through 
their lines which were closed as fast as made ; still they pressed on until one 
brigade was within three liundred yards of Hancock's line, which had reserved 
its fire. In five minutes the wdiole brigade was streaming back in wild 
disorder. 

The other division marched on until it reached Gibbon's front line thinly 
posted behind a low stone wall; they charged straight over this among the 
Federal batteries, and for a quarter of an hour there was a struggle with pis- 
tols and clubbed muskets. Confederate flags waved upon the wall within the 
Union line. The Union troops hurried from all sides and drove them back 
down the slope, which was completely covered by musketry and artillery; to 



advance, retreat or stand still was alike impossible; the men flung tliemselves 
on the ground holding up their hands in token of surrender. In the few mo- 
ments during which the contest lasted, b}' far the greater part of that 
gallant division had disappeared. Four thousand five hundred of them were 
prisoners, many more were wounded, and a vast number dead. 

During the night Lee concentrated his force behind the crest of Seminary 
Ridge, probably expecting an attack. In the morning Meade called a council 
of war, at which it was decided to "remain a day and await the development 
of the enemy's plan." Before night a heavy storm had set in, under cover of 
which Lee began his retreat towards the Potomac, leaving a strong rear guard 
to defend the passes through the mountains. The train was seventeen miles 
long when draM'n out on the road, and from every w^agon issued wails of 
agony. Very few of the wounded had received adequate surgical aid; many 
had been without food for thirty-six hours, and many were going rapidly in 
wagons without springs, through a mountainous country. He reached the 
river, forty miles distant, on the 7th. The stream, which he had crossed almost 
dry-shod a fortnight before, was now s woollen by unusually heavy rains, and 
unfordable. A bridge which he had flung across had been destroyed by a 
cavalry dash from Harper's Ferry, and he had no alternative but to entrench 
himself and await an attack or the falling of the waters. Meade advanced 
slowly by a much longer route, and on the 12th came in front of the Confed- 
erate entrenchments. He called a council of war, which, against his opinion, 
voted to postpone the attack until reconnoissance had been made. On the 
evening of the 13th an order was issued for an advance the next morning, but 
when day broke tlie enemy had disappeared. A slight bridge had been 
constructed and the river had fallen so as to be fordable at a single point. 
Two corps crossed by the bridge, the other by the ford. The stream was still 
at high tide, and the men found much difficulty in stemming it; but they 
linked arms, and thus interlaced and steadied, forded the river in mass, nearly 
shoulder deep, Avith the loss of but three men. 

The Union loss was 2,834 killed, 13,713 wounded, and 6,643 missing. The 
best estimates put the Confederate loss at 5,000 killed, 23,000 wounded, and 
8,000 unwounded prisoners. 

The work of interring 8,000 dead, and removing to comfortable quarters and 
caring for 20,000 wounded, was a herculean task. The Confederates had left 



u 

most of their dead on the tiekl as also a large number of their badly wounded. 
The number of surgeons was limited, although increased by volunteers from 
the North, and their task so great that it is narrated in some instances the opera- 
tors had to be supported while performing tlie operation, and fainted from 
exhaustion when finished. 

The men were buried everywhere, when convenient in clusters of ten, 
twenty, fifty or more ; but so great was the number and such the advanced 
state of decomi)osition of those that had been dead for several days, that they 
could not be removed, and were buried in slight ditches, in the fields or gardens, 
or by the roadside, just where they were found. Some fields contained hun- 
dreds of these graves, and in one, in the vicinity of Little Round Top, four 
hundred Confederate soldiers were buried. 

Soon after the battle a plat of seventeen acres of land, situated on Cemetery 
Hill, adjoining the village cemetery, the scene of some of the most terrific 
fighting, was purchased for a cemeter}^ for the Union dead, the title of which 
was vested in the State of Pennsylvania in trust for all the states having dead 
buried there. In laying out the grounds a semi-circle form was adopted, the 
head of each body pointing towards a common centre — the location of the 
monument. 

The work of disinterring and re-interring the Union dead was begun 
October 27th, 1863, and completed in about five months. Many bodies then 
in unmarked graves were identified by means of papers, letters, photographs, 
etc., and marks found on their clothing. More than 3,000 graves of Con- 
federate soldiers were examined in this search. The Cemetery was dedicated 
November 19th, 1863. The oration was delivered by Edward Everett, and an 
address by President Lincoln.

On the afternoon of the 26th of June, General Early arrived in Gettysburg 
and made the following requisition on the borough authorities: 60 barrels of 
flour; 7,000 lbs. of pork or bacon ; 1,200 lbs. of sugar ; 600 lbs. of coffee ; 1,000 
lbs. of salt; 40 bushels of onions; 1,000 pairs of shoes; 500 hats; or $10,000 in 
mone}'. 

He was answered hy Mr. D. Kendleliart, president of Council, as follows: 

General Early: Gettysburg, June 26th, 1863. 

Sir : — The authorities of the borough of Gettysburg, in answ^er to the de- 
mand made by j^ou upon the said borough and county, say their authority 
extends but to the borough. That the requisition asked for cannot be given, 
because it is utterly impossible to comply. The quantities required are far 
b.eyond that in our possession. In compliance, however, to the demands, w-e 
will request the stores to be open and the citizens to furnish whatever they 
can of such provisions, etc., as may be asked. Further we cannot promise. 

By authority of the council of the borough of Gettysburg, I hereunto, as 
President of said Board, attach mv name. 

D. KENDLEHART. 

General Early received orders to proceed to York that evening, and the 
requisition was not again asked for. [The original letter can be seen at Ban- 
ner's Battle-field Museum, No. 23 Baltimore Street.] 



" Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent 
a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all 
men are created equal. Now, we are engaged in a great civil war, testing 
whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long 
endure. We are met on a great battle-field of tliat w^ar. We have come to 
dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave 
their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that 
we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot 
consecrate — we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, 



11 

"U'lio struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or de- 
tract. The world will little note nor long remember what vs^e say here, but it 
never can forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedi- 
cated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so 
nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task 
remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion 
to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion ; that we 
liere highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain ; that this nation, 
under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that the government of the 
people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." 



GETTYSBURG, 
The county seat of Adams County, is situated in a beautiful plain between 
two ridges — Seminary Ridge on the west, and Cemetery Hill on the south- 
east — and lies in the middle of a district which, with its low hills and fertile 
valleys, has been termed the Piedmont of the Atlantic water-shed, probably 
because it forms the foot of the South Mountains, between which and the sea 
there are no other great elevations. The town was laid out about 1780, became 
the county seat of Adams in 1800, and was incorporated in 1807. It is 
nine miles north of the Maryland line, fifty-two miles from Baltimore, one 
hundred and eighteen from Philadelphia, and thirty-five from Harrisburg. The 
population of Gett3^sburg is about 8,000. Gettysburg is in a direct railroad 
communication with Baltimore, via the Hanover and Baltimore Railroad, and 
with the East and West by way of the Hanover Junction road and the Fred, 
and Pa. Line branch of the Pennsylvania. The Gettysburg and Harrisburg 
railroad is a shorter route from Harrisburg, Philadelphia and other points. 

ROUND TOP PARK. 
The Round Top Branch Railroad lias been completed to Little Round Top, 
where a magnificent park has been laid out, which is rapidly being beautified 
and supplied with every comfort and convenience for the enjoyment of tourists

Many monuments will be erected during the season of 1886, among them 
the monument marking the spot where Gen. Rejaiold's fell. Exquisite photo- 
graphs of these monuments have been taken in all sizes by W. H. Tipton, the 
Battle-field Photographer, and can be seen at his gallery on Chambersburg 
Street, and at Banner's Mcseum, Baltimore Street. Those who have gone 
over the battle-field will find these pictures very interesting, and it will be a 
pleasure for those who cannot visit the entire field to look over the collection.
